Mike: Yeah, well, the divorce isn't final for another two weeks, so you have no right.

Scarlet:Did you? Really? Like the barbeque pit? 有吗?真的吗?比如这个烧烤炉?
Mike: Yeah. 是的。
Scarlet:Yeah. The way I remember that is that you spent about an hour working on it and then you spent the next two days complaining about if you had gone to college, you could've hired someone else to do it.
Scarlet:是啊,可我怎么记得你只摆弄了一个小时,就抱怨了两天,说你如果去读了大学,你就可以雇个人来做了。
Mike: I don't think it was a whole two days. 我应该没有抱怨两天吧。
Scarlet:Or the hammock over here. 或者是这张吊床。
Mike: Yeah? 怎么了?
